Hopefully it won't go off again but just in case if it did, you can also try this as an emergency.
You will need a polystyrene cup (not plastic) and it works only for an over sensitive sensors but not for faulty ones.
You can block infra red temperature changes by cutting out a small round piece from bottom of the polystyrene cup and place over the sensor with insulating tape. Its only temporary until you find the cause :yup:

They don't live long if you hit the bloody things with a rolled up newspaper. Rolled up magazines and hammers work as well. Gotta spot em first though. Lol

I think about 12.6V is normal. Having recently had to replace my battery, I can confirm that the old clapped out battery never caused the alarm to operate, so I doubt that is your problem.

I can't risk locking it tonight. This the view out of my window...
Can somebody confirm how I disable the ultrasonic sensor. Is it (a) Press once to lock the car and two further presses within 15 secs or (b) Press once to lock the car followed by three further presses within 15 secs?

They look like zombies :yup: I remember many years back one of our neighbours had a similar problem, but they had a mice in the car. We couldn't believe it until we were shown evidence of the nest and droppings.
Anyway, back to topic.... We better find you a solution before your neighbour gets upset

It could be mice, that happened to me before too. Not this car though, and they never set the alarm off either.
I'm going drive somewhere remote tomorrow and get Mrs A to jump about inside while I try and lock it with different combinations of remote presses.

Exactly where it is in the pic. In the gap between the A pillar and the door on the driver's side.
Mrs A spotted it as I was stuffing her inside so that I could work out how the alarm worked.

Lmfao. The alarm moths exist on the other side of the pond then? I had the same little bugger of a problem..!!!! Maybe it was its twin..???
Have you made sure the cheeky thing hasn't stolen anything? Maybe as a member stated in my thread it was just looking for somewhere to get down as dirty with its female friend? ?

Maybe its a reincarnation of mine and it hates other cars. Perhaps it was once a 300c owner? Who knows..!!!!

You should have it stuffed and hung up for all the neighbours to see.
